I had my sleeve on 8/24/15. Since then I have lost 35 pounds. The doctors seem to think this is good but it seems kind of slow to me. I am averaging a little over 11 pounds a month. Doctor said I went from class 2 obesity to class 1. Any opinions please.

Have they checked your vitamin b12 levels?

Six weeks postop tomorrow and I am down THIRTY POUNDS!

I don't care what the scale says you are skinny enough! Stay right where you are because you really are thin!

When I weigh 150 I can wear a size 8

Amen!!!!

Thank you petunia1

Skinny people don't get it but that is okay. You get it! I get it! You are making the decision to choose health over food addiction. Last night my family went to Ben & Jerry's to get ice cream. I said to myself I had my share of ice cream. Maybe someday I might choose to have some but I am too new at this right now. This time next year we will be healthier! It's going to be nice to be able to wear cute clOthers again. Not everyone is going to be supportive and be on our team but we are going to do this without them anyway

Thank you Umo!!!

Order an appetizer for your meal or just a cup of soup.

Thank you Blerdgirl

Thank you for your prayers and support.

I completely understand exactly what you are saying!! Of course we all want our body to match how we feel. It's just so not fun to be fat.

I was gorgeous once too. Life happens don't beat yourself up so much. There is a verse that helps me Beauty is fading and charm is deceptive but the woman who fears the Lord she shall be praised. Proverbs 31 Life has a way of humbling us. We will lose our weight but we need to remember it's not what's on the outside that counts it's what's on the inside that counts. My mother used to have a saying " pretty is as pretty does"

I will be 4 weeks out this coming Monday. I am experiencing the same issues.
